New translation, the Magna Carta

  i wonder if it is large flat-screen tvs that are helping to destroy socialist 'new' labour!

“I watched Gordon's 55-minute speech in real time, on the ancient kitchen telly. We keep saying we'll buy a new one, so I dropped into Currys to price some and reeled in horror. Hundreds of huge HD-TVs were all tuned to re-runs of the conference, and everybody who'd looked perfectly presentable on my snow-flecked screen looked shocking. Sarah Brown's charming outfit was creased to pieces and showed every bulge; Jack Straw's crumpled wrinkles were awesome; showers of dandruff speckled every shoulder.”

100% wheat and nothing else

“Henry Perky invented shredded wheat cereal in 1893. The wheat is first cooked in water until its moisture content reaches about 50%. It is then tempered, allowing moisture to diffuse evenly into the grain. The grain then passes through a set of rollers with grooves in one side, yielding a web of shredded wheat strands. Many webs are stacked together, and this moist stack of strands is crimped at regular intervals to produce individual pieces of cereal with the strands attached at each end. These then go into an oven, where they are baked until their moisture content is reduced to 5%.[...] ”

“The original [USA] company opened a factory in Welwyn Garden City (UK) in 1926, which became part of Nabisco in 1928. The tall concrete cereal silos that form part of the factory are a local landmark and are listed structures [...] ”

“ [...] Why does Arthur Scargill [take] three Shredded Wheat? Answer: He eats two, the other one he puts on his head.”

I’ll bet not many people know that!

So it isn’t knitted by wrinklies.
The advertisers are lying - they must be socialists!

end note

  1. Arthur Scargill. Image: http://bettysutility.blogspot.comArthur Scargill is a UK socialist trade unionist. He was noted for his fair-coloured hairstyle like a combed-over haystack, with similarities to a Shreddied Wheat biscuit. Others swear it is a toupee.
